[Axios] Eight more women allege sexism at PlayStation, intensifying lawsuit News
Eight more women, former and current employees at Sony PlayStation, have added their accounts of sexist treatment to a proposed class-action lawsuit against the gaming giant. Why it matters: The new declarations add to former IT security analyst Emma Majo's assertion that PlayStation, like many...www.resetera.com
This here the thread so anyone can understand more about the lawsuit, maybe not related, but this tells something very wrong about the company. This is a second time today I shared thread link both are related to sony, sad thing for me tbh.
quoting this for visibility
The man retired from Sony because he was getting burned out. Let the man chill in peace, not having to deal with people like Jim.
This is you speculating on what his potential intent with the email was. That should tell you everything about the quality of this email
yeah that was my initial thought. I did not expect 11 pages so soon over this. but he didn't really have to make a statement at all and it seems most everyone is upset about it, so it must have been a mistake.
So did he see the overwhelmingly positive press that Bungie -- the company they just purchased -- received last week and decide, "You know what? I'm gonna do the exact opposite of that."
Using dogs as a heavy-handed analogy to the sort of employee he wants: one who knows their place and does what they're supposed to do with no distractions such as opinions on abortion rights.
Fucking disgusting.
Fucking disgusting.
You mean the background wallpaper turned into a person? I don't think anyone had much expecations nor liked it very much, but it does seem to have opnions on women.
Sorry just to clarify. I'm guessing someone was complaining about it to him or he heard it so instead of allowing it he basically threw together that email so he didn't have to deal with the shit. By the rest of the email he clearly didn't put any effort into it
For some, yes. For the people making the actual decisions It's more about keeping poor people poor.
This isn't a confusing situation and it has been explained in this thread already.
This is not a 'both sides' issue. If your opinion is that a woman should not have the right to an abortion, you are on the wrong side.
User Banned (1 Week): Console warring in a sensitive thread
and people will still tell you Jim Ryan has a plan for PlayStation and he knows what he's doing with a straight face after reading this absolute nonsense email.
I'm no longer chalking up the fact that they have 0 major 1st party game announcements in 8 months and none with release dates to COVID or "they're waiting for the right time to do a big show!!", this guy is fucking clueless and inept.
Get him out. out out out out out out.

It's not even just about forced birth. If you are a women with an ectopic pregnancy (hint: it's nonviable and never will be), you will DIE in these states because the procedure for removal is an abortion.
But please, let's just call it a "difference of opinion".
But please, let's just call it a "difference of opinion".
For the love of god, shut the fuck up. This is a serious issue and not related to you crying about video games not being shown
Dude didn't a vice president get fired for CP also
Boy if I bought a PS5 now I'd probably sell it by now
The first retraction was an apology for being insensitive.
The second one wasn't an apology, but they then preserved the WFH policy to 2024 without addressing the laughably sexist shit he said.
Honestly I'm surprised it never got more coverage because this was one of the biggest employers in California.
Since he became CEO, the Playstation brand has taken some giant Ls. He's just not a good or inspiring face for the brand. He's a money guy, so I guess the shareholders like him a ton, but as a PS customer, he's always rubbed me the wrong way.
I far, far, far preferred Shawn Layden.
I far, far, far preferred Shawn Layden.
Ah yes, the guy with two equally incorrect opinions: "some people don't like old video games" and "women shouldn't have control of their bodies".
Edit: just to be clear, I'm being very sarcastic.
Uhh yes?
Trivializing a sensitive matter in 2 sentences, and then taking a about a cat In much more detail in the same breath is fucking tone deaf.
I'm really sick of this idiot. I love Playstation and their consoles have been my primary choice of gaming for a long time now, but Jim continues to make me rethink this with his embarrassing and out-of-touch comments. This comment in particular is really pathetic though and makes me hope Sony rethinks his leadership position soon.
Yep, getting bored by the absence of video games in your life don't quite stand in the same ballpark as not thinking woman have the right to live.
I'll focus on this since this is where most people are going to get angry.
Yes, people are pro and against. Here's the thing though: For the past 50 years, those Against have been living just fine. The government isn't busting down doors and forcing abortions on people.
So yea, "we gotta live with each other" is a true statement. But it ain't anyone else's business what individuals feel. It becomes an issue when they start forcing beliefs on others. And that's very much about to happen when RvW gets overturned.
And then he wants to "lighten the mood" by joking about pets. FFS.
and I'm not detracting from that at all when he's unfit for the job in every way imaginable
